Brief Summary
This study is a randomized intervention that will test two different approaches reflecting diverse levels of both intensity and cost, to achieving risk reduction of T2D. This will help address a critical question in the translation of primary prevention research into the public health: how much intensity (and thus cost) is required to achieve an effective outcome? In addition, the proposed study will address a critical need in diabetes prevention that has not received sufficient scholarly attention: the prevention of T2D in children. No studies of diabetes prevention similar in scope to the DPP have been performed in school-aged children; however, reducing childhood obesity is widely accepted as the primary pathway to decreasing the growing prevalence of T2D in the pediatric population.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Changes in weight
Weight taken during data collection visits
3, 6, and 12 months after the beginning of the assigned intervention program
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Changes in diet
3, 6, and 12 months after the beginning of the assigned intervention program
Study Arms (2)
Lifestyle counseling mom only
EXPERIMENTALThis intervention, delivered to groups of mothers only, builds upon the evidence-based curriculum used in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and incorporates into the curriculum detailed education regarding ways to help their children adopt healthier lifestyle behaviors.
Lifestyle counseling mom and child
EXPERIMENTALThe second intervention is delivered to both mothers and children in separate groups using the same parent Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) curriculum, but adds a group program for children that directly teach these children strategies for eating better and increasing physical activity.
Interventions
Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP): This is an evidence-based curriculum that has shown that it is possible to prevent or delay Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) in individuals if they keep a healthy weight, eat a nutritious diet, and stay physically active.
